The perl 5.8 transition was announced several weeks ago (to
-devel-announce, which everybody reads, right?), and there was an
opportunity to upload packages to a staging area so that the transition
in unstable would be less painful. The uploads that have been made this
weekend are for those packages that didn't take advantage of the several
weeks' notice that were given.
If you don't want the NMU, *please* make a maintainer upload. That's the
point of the delayed queue.
